What is your plan to provide year-round water supply in rural communities?
I will focus on deep-aquifer drilling to reach water that does not run dry with the seasons. I will also invest in rainwater harvesting infrastructure and small earth dams, so water can be stored for both home and farm use. This is how we will work toward year-round water supply, especially for rural communities like yours.
